Leonardo da Vinci was a relatively stupid person from Planet Vinci, who visited Earth during the 15th and 16th centuries after having been ridiculed for ages in his homeworld by his nemesis Biff and several others (6ACV05). In 3010, he accidentally killed himself with one of his own creations, the Macchina Magnifica.

After arriving on Earth, Leonardo became famous as a scientist, painter (BBS), engineer, inventor, mathematician, writer, and was soon considered a genius by the Earthican people. He created flying machines, war engines, submarines, having gone on to be History's greatest artist and inventor. However, Leonardo eventually left the planet when he could not stand being surrounded by such stupid people.

The Professor's most valuabe possession, Leonardo's beard, was destroyed by Fry on Earth, but Leonardo still bears it when they first meet on Planet Vinci. Since the beard contained his personal blueprints, it is most likely that he grew a new one since.

Here?Leonardo da Vinci: [He sighs.] You have learned my great secret. I was but a visitor to Earth. In truth, I am what you call "a space Alien".

Or did, until I misplaced the plans for my masterpiece.Fry: You mean these?Leonardo da Vinci: Ah! The Macchina Magnifica? Oh, infinite joy! Fry, my friend, you have given my life a meaning again.
